"The Austrian Alpine ski resort of Greutz is the scene of rivalry between an English party and some new arrivals. Dr. Patrick Grant''s particular powers of logic and reasoning are needed, however, when a member of the party is discovered murdered. Why should a seemingly insignificant individual become a victim?"@en
"Les vacances du professeur Grant sont interrompues sinon complètement chamboulées par d'obscurs incidents qui n'ont rien à voir avec le ski."
""A dead boy, frozen stiff and propped in a chairlift descends to the tiny ski station of Greutz in the Austrian Alps ... A young bride is almost killed in a skiing accident after her skis are tampered with. Fiona, the glamorous operator of the village discotheque, is obviously badly frightened and fails to show up for work one evening ... Then, when Greutz is cut off from the outside world by bad weather and the threat of avalanche, the holiday atmosphere evaporates completely; and Dr. Patrick Grant, on a mid-term vacation from his Oxford college, finds himself embroiled in his most dangerous and mysterious case."--Page 4 of cover."
